Comprising 200 type-II flats in four 10-storey towers, Palika Amrit Kaal Niwas residential complex has been constructed over a total area of 8,081 sq m at a cost of Rs 40.33 crore against an expected expenditure of Rs 49 crore. Each flat area is 54.36 sq m. A total of eight lifts have been installed in the residential complex, with each tower having two lifts.

Officials said the residential complex is earthquake-resistant and provisions for fire alarm and a firefighting system have also been put in place. There are also provisions for overhead and underground water tanks for firefighting and domestic water use. A proper rainwater harvesting system is another salient feature.

“Earlier, there were 130 type-I flats on the premises which had outlived their utility lifespan and were in a dilapidated state. After a survey report, the old flats were demolished and the architecture department of the NDMC prepared the plan for construction of the new flats on the same land,” a senior official with the civic body said.
